Actor Pankaj Kapur recently opened up about his role in Binny and Family, a heartwarming film that explores the importance of familial bonds. He believes this film will resonate deeply with audiences, particularly families, who he feels will “watch with pride” and walk away feeling moved by its message of love and connection.
The film, which released on September 27, showcases the beauty of family life, reminding viewers of the emotional ties that bind generations together.
In a recent interview, Kapur shared his personal connection to the film, explaining why he believes it will strike a chord with viewers. According to him, the story brings to light how often the simplest gestures—like a phone call—could bridge gaps in relationships.
“When I watched the film myself, I was moved,” Kapur said. “I felt this is a film that must reach people. All families will come with pride to watch it, and as they leave the theatre, they’ll feel a sense of emotion, a feeling of love. It could be love for their family, missing their grandparents, or grandchildren. They might realize that maybe we haven’t thought about things this way before, and if we do, the issues we face today could be solved with just a phone call.”

Binny and Family is a refreshing take on the slice-of-life genre, revolving around the relationships and dynamics between three generations within a family. It not only showcases the complexities of family life but does so with an authenticity that Kapur believes will touch viewers’ hearts.
